Lebanon and Damascus, Syria - 22-26 November 1989 and file
Syrian troops and Lebanese Muslim militiamen on 27 November were poised to launch a full-scale assault on christian forces loyal to General Michel Aoun, five days
after the war-torn country's new president was assassinated. Rene Mouawad, a Maronite christian rejected by Aoun as "a puppet of Damascus" had been president for 17 days. He had just used the national Independence Day speech to all for an end to violent solutions and was being driven home when a massive remote-controlled gelignite bomb planted in a small shop blew his passing motorcade to smithereens. At least 20 people died with Mouawad.
